The '''Forum of the Ox''', or '''Forum Bovis''', was one of many forums built by the early Emperors of Nova Roma. Located in the [[Bayezid District]] of [[Constantinople]], it was gradually built over by subsequent generations.
The Forum of the Ox was located on the Mese thoroughfare between the Forum of Arcadius and Taurian (or Theodosian) Forum, about 2 kilometers from the [[Hagia Sophia]]. The forum was named after its central monument, a large antique bronze furnace in the shape of an ox's head, taken from Pergamum.

In 1511, [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]] learned that [[Niccolò Polo]] had hidden one of the [[Masyaf Keys]] beneath the Forum of the Ox. He also discovered that [[Byzantine Empire|Byzantines]] were present, and pursued them through the underground course of the [[Lycus|River Lycus]]. After killing them all, he recovered the third Key.
